Citizen urges Woodbury County to join ISAC amicus brief in Shelby County pipeline case over local control concerns
Summary
A speaker asked the board to sign on to an ISAC amicus brief in a federal Shelby County pipeline case, arguing the result could threaten long-standing county zoning and local control; board placed the item on the Nov. 18 agenda for consideration.
A member of the public raised ISAC’s request that counties contribute a small fee (about $500) to join an amicus brief in the Shelby County pipeline case headed for the U.S. Supreme Court. The speaker framed the litigation as one that could set precedent limiting county and state zoning authority.
"This isn't really about a pipeline anymore. This is about local control," the speaker said, urging the board to consider joining other counties that had already signed on. The board indicated it would add the item to the Nov. 18 agenda so supervisors could consider participation before the stated deadline.
No vote was taken at the meeting; staff will bring the item back for a formal decision.
